They do what they say they do. Excellent.
I was contacted well in advance regarding the collection of my vehicle. Steve the driver phoned me and asked if he could collect sooner than booked. This was OK with me. When he arrived he was friendly and courteous and because of the advanced notification, gave me time to have everything ready for the handover. The money was transferred to my account within minutes. A great service and one that I would recommend to anyone wanting to dispose of a vehicle.

Outstanding service A*****
The process was very straightforward, the vehicle was collected on the day agreed - I received a call when the driver was 30 minutes away. The driver 'Darren' was knowledgeable and a complete professional. All inspections carried out, documents sorted and on his pick up in under 30 minutes. The money was processed to my bank very shortly after. Will definitely recommend and would not hesitate using your company again.

Great service
I recently had my old car collected and I couldn’t be happier with the service. From start to finish, everything was handled smoothly and I was kept informed throughout the whole process. The driver, Roy, was excellent – really friendly, professional, and informative, which made the whole experience easy and stress-free. The payment was transferred instantly upon collection, which was a huge plus. Overall, a fantastic service and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to scrap their car.

Scrap my car in Bodmin FAQs

How much is my scrap car worth in Bodmin?
Dropdown Icon

The average price paid in Bodmin for a scrap car is £217, but your final price will depend on several factors, including your vehicle's weight and the current value of scrap metal. For a live scrap car value, enter your registration and postcode for a quote in under 30 seconds.

Do I need to be present for the collection in Bodmin?
Dropdown Icon

You don't have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Bodmin. You can nominate another adult to hand the vehicle over, but they will need photo ID, access to the car and all required paperwork.

Can I scrap a car without a V5C logbook?
Dropdown Icon

You can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. You'll usually need photo ID, proof of address, and any supporting documents such as MOT certificates or a full service history. The process is much quicker if you do have a logbook, though.

Which areas of Bodmin do you cover?
Dropdown Icon

We cover all postcodes within Bodmin and surrounding villages. Enter your postcode and we'll confirm availability straight away.

Do I need to provide keys for my car?
Dropdown Icon

You don't need to provide keys for your car. Missing keys are common; they won't stop collection, and they won't change the quoted price, because the vehicle can still be loaded with specialist equipment. The condition of the car, not the keys, is what determines your price.

What documents do I need to scrap my car in Bodmin?
Dropdown Icon

You'll need your V5C log book to scrap your car in Bodmin, along with a photo ID and proof of address. If your V5C logbook is missing, you can still usually proceed with the right supporting paperwork, and we'll guide you through what to provide as an alternative.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, if you request one, we issue a Certificate of Destruction within seven days of processing. This document removes all future liability from you as the vehicle's previous owner.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

All outstanding finance must be settled first unless the lender provides clear consent for the vehicle to be scrapped.

Can I scrap a SORN vehicle in Bodmin?
Dropdown Icon

You can scrap a SORN vehicle in Bodmin, and it doesn't need to be taxed or insured for collection. A SORN car must not be driven on a public road, so we'll collect it from a private or off-road address.

What is the difference between scrapping and salvaging?
Dropdown Icon

Scrapping means the vehicle is dismantled and recycled for its metal value under the ELV directive, while salvaging means it keeps enough value to be resold whole or broken for parts, sometimes in cases people associate with a salvage vehicle. Car.co.uk assesses both routes and chooses the outcome that gives the owner the best return.
